I'm really surprised to hear the assertion that people are leaving unfirewalled Exchange servers out on the net. Is this actually common? /shudders...
I don't think that the small shops know any better. It's a matter of education, and in most of the cases I've seen the education has been painful. VPN technologies are either too weak, like PPTP, too expensive or difficult to grasp like IPsec, or too new like the HTTPS tunnels. I don't recall the source, but it was recently reported that 40% of the exchange server base is still on the v5.5 platform. Using that as a general indication, many of these shops probably won't plan to upgrade anytime soon. -John
